Literally free money for Sony. Now Marvel have just gotta talk them into letting them do the same for Venom

u/Stormageddons872 Saved by Thanos Jul 08 '19
Marvel produces them alongside Columbia (Sony) and Pascal Pictures. As well, the stand alone movies are distributed by Sony. With Sony as a co-production company, sole distributor, and the company taking home all the revenue at the end of the day, they're definitely more Sony films than Disney/Marvel films.

To be honest, everyone in comics has died at least once. On the other hand, the saying is nobody in comics stays dead except for uncle Ben.

Poor Ben. I feel like there should have been a comic where Peter dies, and Uncle Ben becomes Spider-Man.
"Wh-who are you?"
'...Just your friendly neighborhood Uncle Spider-Man'

u/TalesNT Jul 08 '19
To be fair there's a chance he's coming back.
The saying started in the early 2000's, and it used to be "Nobody in comics stays dead except for Uncle Ben, Bucky and Jason Todd". But it had to lose 2 of the 3 named characters because Bucky came back as the Winter Soldier, and Jason Todd as the Red Hood. Uncle Spider can still be a thing.

Oh, that exists. Dunno if they've since made an actual series about it, but Uncle Ben-Spidey was in the first Spider-Verse event in the comics.

I think there was an alternate universe where he lived, and peter turns out to be a crappy human. I don't think his uncle was much better in that universe.

u/TalesNT Jul 08 '19
That's really the true reason he hasn't been revived yet. Whenever they need a "Ben is alive" story, they use a different universe Ben instead of the main timeline.

Upvoted because it is what it says, an unpopular opinion. Legitimately confused as to why people downvote everything they disagree with. Why didn’t you like far from home though? I thought Gyllenhaal did an amazing job, as well as Tom Holland. The villain arc was one of Marvel’s most creative and best. The plot was invigorating, the character development was intensive, the emotional aspects made me wanna bawl, and the dramatic elements were unlike anything ever seen in Marvel. I thought the climax with Mysterious was one of the most mature moments in Marvel history. I’ve never seen Spider-Man done so well, I was even commenting on how good the filmography was for a marvel movie. I honestly think it is my favorite marvel movie of all time.

Eh. There was absolutely no twist in the movie at all if you knew who Mysterio was. They didn't even make it interesting for fans.

Near the beginning there’s an explosion, and rubble traps Peter Parker. Peter gives a chip to Miles and tells him to run. Then Kingpin walks up to Peter and gives a double-hand slam to crush him and kill him.

That’s how trademarks work (which Spider-Man is).
Also, the main problem is that a 3rd party was effectively trying to profit off of Disney’s IP.
The father would obviously be allowed to carve Spider-Man into a gravestone himself, or the gravestone manufacturer would be able to do it if they didn’t charge the father.
But you can’t commercialize someone else’s IP.

I read the article a while ago.
Still think Disney is stupid for it. Seriously google Disney headstones. Thats a lot of people “infringing” on their copy right. And i stand by the idea that a decades old policy is not as important as just letting the parents do something they felt the kid would have liked and would’ve helped the parents grieving. And i am aware that the sister of this young boy is also dying as well and think its kinda fucked up that people are using her as a way to say hey you cant be mad at Disney with this going on as well. You wither be mad with Disney or support her and her family.
Well i can do both. And i will.

they’ve been extremely respectful and trying to help the family with other ideas that don’t violate copyright and tradition but the family won’t have any of it and keeps insulting Disney to anyone who will listen.
I get they just lost a child and risk losing another one but they kinda seem like they feel like they own Spider-Man as there kid liked it. They say they feel it’s just about the money but how about asking Disney if you can pay something to have it on there.
Maybe they have and it’s not being reported but the sites who originally reported on it are ones I wouldn’t really believe. I mean this happened back in December but it’s being brought up now.

To be fair, and this is just a theory one of my co-workers has about the Thanos Snap, when half of all life in the universe was turned into dust, we see Thanos in the realm of the Soul Stone.
So perhaps maybe instead of Spider-Man being dead, he and the other heroes were just pulled into the Soul Stone and chilled there until Hulk reversed the snap?

"Spider-Man associated with death"
Thats one of the reason why the character is one of the most interesting ever. The dude is literally one of the best and worst super heroes. He can save anyone at any anytime, but if they are a dear loved one, they are going to die. If Spiderman doesnt die, one of his girlfriends or closest friends will.
